In January 2019, amid the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis, Omar joined Democrats Ro Khanna and Tulsi Gabbard in denouncing the Trump administration's decision to recognize Juan Guaidó, the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, as Venezuela's interim president. She described Trump's action as a "U.S. backed coup" to "install a far right opposition" and said that the U.S. should not "hand pick" foreign leaders and should support "Mexico, Uruguay & the Vatican's efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue." In response to criticisms of her comments, Omar wrote that "No one is defending Maduro" and that opposing US intervention is not the equivalent of supporting the existing leadership of a country.

Coox, p. 576 Despite the fact that no more major fighting would take place until 20 August, Japanese casualties continued to mount at a rate of 40 wounded per day.Coox, p. 577 Kwantung Army staff officers were becoming increasingly worried over the disorganized state of the 6th Army's headquarters and supply elements. In addition, the growing casualty count meant that the already green 23rd Division would have to take, train, and assimilate new replacements "on the job". By contrast, Tokyo's oft-stated desire that it would not escalate the fighting at Khalkhin-Gol proved immensely relieving to the Soviets, who were free to hand-pick select units from across their entire military to be concentrated for a local offensive without fear of Japanese retaliation elsewhere.

Despite calling the incident an "incipient mutiny", Scriven relieved Chandler on April 1 and transferred him to Fort McKinley in the Philippines, replaced on an interim basis by Cowan, who was already in Texas City as the signal officer of the mobilizing 2d Division.Another historian, however, wrote that Chandler may have been deposed by the division commander, Gen. Carter, who was also in command of the Central Department, in order to hand-pick a non-aviator as his replacement (Carter's signal officer, Cowan). The inadequacy of the field at Texas City and Chandler's complaints about it were apparently the catalyst for his relief, whichever general initiated it, but the pilots viewed Chandler as a non-aviator and held him responsible for the acquisition of inadequate, underpowered and unsafe aircraft.

Leung said that it was highly likely that it could be implemented by the end of June, and it would come in effect on 1 July. In the program LegCo Review, Leung emphasized that by calling out words and slogans such as 'Liberate' would violate the national security law as it was an 'act to separate the idea of one country, two systems.' She also defended plans for Carrie Lam to hand-pick judges to handle the national security law cases. According to a report by Apple Daily, it was revealed in a court hearing on the practices of members of the Hong Kong Police Force in the protests that the police force had changed some of its rules and regulations on 27 November 2019, without making any announcement to the public.

Partido Accion Nacional or PAN – the first opposition party to the PRI Cardenas also ushered in the PRI's pragmatic ideological stance. After pursuing significant efforts to redistribute land and overseeing the government appropriation of key industries, the Cardenas administration faced an economic downturn that prompted a rightward shift in public opinion. During this time, the Partido de Accion Nacional (PAN) was created from ex-Callistas who thought the government was overstepping its role in the economy and Catholics who feared the government's secular education policies would bring an end to Catholic schools. Cardenas, concerned with ensuring a PRI victory and maintaining political stability, did not allow the party to choose the next presidential candidate, opting instead to hand-pick Avila Camacho – a right-leaning politician – to run to succeed him.

The black slug facilitates nutrient cycling by decomposing decaying and fecal matter; additionally, slug mucus left behind in the soil helps cycle nutrients, and Arion ater may merely step into this niche in place of native slugs. Arion ater has spread in Alaska in the following places: Anchorage, Cordova, Yakutat, Gustavus, Juneau, Sitka, Tenakee Springs, Ketchikan, and Kodiak Island, and in some of these areas, the black slug threatens lilies and orchids. It is unlikely complete removal can be achieved given high fecundity, but fencing and educating the public to hand pick black slugs might mitigate associated invasion risks. Arion ater eating fungi Conservationists within the Pacific Northwest and BC Canada are concerned about competition between Arion ater and native slugs such as the banana slug (Ariolimax californicus, A. columbianus, and A. dolichophallus). The University of British Columbia’s zoology department published a study on this interaction in 2015.

It has been reported that the Chief Executive (CE) Carrie Lam is to hand-pick suitable judges for conducting national security law cases and violations. In response, former Chief Justice of Hong Kong Andrew Li warned of such actions 'undermining' the judicial independence of Hong Kong in a South China Morning Post opinion piece. He stressed that the CE of Hong Kong had no professional expertise, ability or experience to pick judges, and that the draft of the law still has not been released to the public is "unfortunate". To further express concerns of the power granted to the CE by the national security law, Hong Kong Bar Association published a statement stating that Article 88 of the Basic Law does not allow the executive arm of the Government to "on its own assign or designate any particular type of cases to be adjudicated or tried by specific judge", stressing that such move would "undermine judicial independence".

He also left a landmark on the diplomatic scene by being President Banda's vocal face on the banning of Sudan's fugitive president Al Bashir from attending the initially Malawi bound 2012 AU summit that was as a consequence of the landmark ban transferred to Ethiopia. His unprecedented hand-pick appointment has raised questions as to whether he enjoys the same immunity that his elected predecessors had over being fired by a standing president. Two of his predecessors, Joyce Banda and Cassim Chilumpha were on separate occasions only saved by the constitution when the then vexed president wanted their heads to roll for what may best be described by some as alleged political insecurities or machinations. As First Vice President of the ruling Peoples Party, he has been at the centre of bringing parliamentary and political stability and he is regarded as "the most loyal and trusted" boy of President Joyce Banda and that has earned him constant attacks from his political competitors who believe attacking him would weaken the President who is set for her first Presidential election in May 2014.
